Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1495 Greedy

 “What, are you worried?”

Late at night, Isobel, who was wearing a thick cloak, pushed open the door of the cabin and walked onto the deck that was darkened by the night. Her eyes fell on the back of the person fishing alone at night under the oil lamp and blowing the sea breeze. She knew that Albert was worried every time. They would go to the deck alone to enjoy the breeze, fish, and think about how to solve problems.

 “A little bit.”

 Albert asked Isobel to sit next to him.

 “If you don’t mind…”

After Isobel sat down, she leaned her head over, and the two of them nestled together, facing the sea breeze, looking at the dark sea in front of them, and talking in a low voice.

　　"I found... Dumbledore is not a good person." Albert suddenly said something incomprehensible.

 “So, it’s hard to accept?”

 Isobel was a little surprised that Albert would mention such a thing. In her opinion, Albert was not a person who would care about such a thing.

"No, I'm just thinking that there are no so-called good people in this world." Albert picked up the fishing rod that caught nothing and laughed at himself, "I'm right not to be a good person. People, as long as Once you reach a certain level, there is no such thing as a good person.”

"What happened?"

 Isobel was a little confused by Albert's words.

Albert briefly told Isobel what happened to the wand maker named Osido.

"So, you are blaming yourself for not being able to save him?" Isobel was surprised, but felt that this was not the reason. Albert was usually relatively indifferent to strangers and would not worry about someone he didn't know. .

Sure enough, I heard him say again, "That's not true. As a prophet, I can predict people's disasters but cannot prevent them. I have been mentally prepared for it. What's more..."

"not to mention?"

“What’s more, I have saved Orsido’s family. But, I feel more and more like Dumbledore.”

 Speaking of this matter, Albert was quite emotional.

"which aspect?"

 “The end justifies the means.”

 “Dumbledore too?”

 Isobel was surprised that Albert actually commented on Dumbledore like that.

"Yes, most of the so-called big shots are similar things." Albert sighed softly: "I find that I am becoming the person I hated before. I am obviously still so young. I really don't understand why I have changed. Be like that.”

"So, you are feeling your changes?" The expression on Isobel's face suddenly became a little strange: "Or, you just don't want to go back to rest, my dear?"

"No, I'm worried about the follow-up plan." Albert hesitated for a moment, but Isobel revealed some news, "Harry, Ron and Hermione are a little behind the current progress."

“It seems that the three of them have average talents in black magic. I remember that you taught them yourself.” Isobel knew what progress Albert was referring to.

If the original plan was followed, after the mysterious man determined that the "death stick" in his hand was genuine, it would be time for the trio of saviors to stage the drama of "bravely entering Gringotts and burning the Horcruxes", but the three Harrys were Li Huo's control is really hard to describe.

Albert also knew that Harry could not be blamed for this kind of thing. The Fire Curse has always been the most difficult to completely control among the many black magic spells. But the matter had reached this stage, and he knew very well that he could not drag it out any longer, otherwise Voldemort would definitely realize that one day he would kill Snape regardless of all costs, and then find that the death stick in his hand was actually a counterfeit. This was a trap carefully laid for him by Albert. One day, maybe Voldemort, who might have smelled danger, wouldn't even care about the Horcruxes and just turned around and ran away. Then it would be really embarrassing.

They must use Horcruxes as bait before Voldemort reacts, complete the final arrangements, completely kill Voldemort, and stuff his body back into the coffin to prevent him from jumping around repeatedly.

But before preparations are made, it is risky to force Harry and three to team up to invade Gringotts. What if the savior accidentally gets cold?

It's not that Albert doesn't have confidence in Harry's savior aura, but the further back and closer to the critical moment, the more careful he needs to be to avoid accidentally falling before the final victory and making his years of hard work become a laughing stock. .

Albert knew very well that nothing in this world was perfect, but he wanted it, wanted it, and wanted it, so he must do his best to win this wizard war.

 After all, he wanted to gain too much from this Wizarding War, so he had to pay some price, and there was nothing he could do about it.

It’s not that Albert is too greedy, but that he has been planning to pick up this fruit called Voldemort since he was in the first grade, and he cannot give up easily.

 The biggest problem right now is: we are running out of time!

 But no one else had a sense of urgency, which really made him feel helpless.

 Sometimes, Albert was also curious about how Dumbledore could calmly plan for the Savior to fight the Dark Lord.

How can he actually ensure that the entire plan can continue according to his wishes?

 Does it really rely on the so-called will of the universe (the power of the author)?

Or... He actually can't guarantee it, but because I can help him with it, that's why the old guy can be so calm?

 It is possible that this is part of the reason.

“The question is, who is going to tell me the truth?”

 Such an idea suddenly came to Albert's mind, but he quickly shook it off.

He doesn’t need anyone to tell him the truth.

Albert doesn’t need it, let alone wants anyone to share the fruits of his hard work.

“Why do I have a sense of déjà vu as the final villain boss.” Albert murmured. "Sure enough, it's still too much."

Although most of what he wants has been obtained in the process of fighting the mysterious man, it would not be a loss even if he just lets go now, but Albert still wants to pick the final fruit. After all, it was Albert's plan since his school days. Things up to now.

He cannot give up easily, nor will he give up, because even if he fails, he does not need to pay a high price.

 Why not?

 As expected, Gryffindor students all like to take risks.

 “It’s true, I was actually lost in thought when I was talking to others.”

Isobel kissed Albert on the cheek, stretched out his hand to pull him up from the chair, "Stop fishing, we should go back and rest."

 “Wait, I haven’t…”

“When you have a good rest and are refreshed, you still have a lot of time to think slowly, don’t you?” Isobel pushed Albert back to the cabin, leaving the house elf to clean up the problem.

"Of course, if you are willing to tell me, I can also provide you with some opinions on the problem from other angles. It is difficult for one person to cover everything."
